Johns Hopkins University Nine, of
Baltimore. Sometime in May. OF

aid of the organization. A little en-
enlargement, frieds, and the Martins
burg boys will win renown for the
town.

they were at it, several dogs became
tribute to his revolver and rife The
ringleader, however, escaped. He
watched for him two nights and on
the third day he placed one of the
dead dogs in cart and commenced
a search from house to house, end
